Kylie had
47 as many mini cupcakes as Cody. Cody had
35 as many mini cupcakes as Riordan. If Riordan had 184 more mini cupcakes than Kylie, find the total number of mini cupcakes that was shared among these 3 children at first.
Kylie |
Cody |
Riordan |
4x3 |
7x3 |
|
|
3x7 |
5x7 |
12 u |
21 u |
35 u |
Cody is the repeated identity.
LCM of 7 and 3 = 21
Number of more mini cupcakes that Riordan had more than Kylie
= 35 u - 12 u
= 23 u
23 u = 184
1 u = 184 ÷ 23 = 8
Total number of mini cupcakes
= 12 u + 21 u + 35 u
= 68 u
= 68 x 8
= 544
Answer(s): 544
